Summary "The American Bee Journal, Vol. VI., Number 5, November 1870" by Various is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This journal serves as a resource for beekeepers, providing valuable information on apiary management, honey production, and bee diseases. The entries include personal accounts, scientific observations, and various techniques related to beekeeping, including remedies for diseases like foulbrood and methods for breeding high-quality queens. The opening of the journal discusses an individual's experience dealing with foulbrood disease in his bee colonies and the various treatments he employed to combat it. The writer, Edward P. Abbe, recounts the difficulties he faced as a novice beekeeper, including the lack of knowledge that led to the introduction of the disease. He details his experimentation with different remedies, ultimately finding some success with hyposulphite of soda, while also recognizing the challenges and setbacks he encountered. The subsequent sections introduce additional contributors who share their insights into queen breeding and the importance of maintaining the purity of Italian bee stock.
